In the latest edition of That Wham! Show we find out that Wham! may come back as holograms, Andrew Ridgeley wants to do the cha cha cha and how a trip to China ended with George Michael being called a dumbbell.

Dori recommends The Perks of Being a Wallflower, while Paulo's movie links Kenny Rogers to Weekend at Bernies.

And having heard something about a Barbie movie, Paulo and Dori look at Barbie in the '80s.

So. Many. Legwarmers.
